Definitions
- the present invention relates to a display unit in a vehicle, especially a vehicle display system.
- Such display units are known in numerous examples.
- Current vehicle display systems that are generally arranged in the area behind the steering wheel transmit to the driver information about especially mechanical or analog instruments e.g. pointer instruments, digital instruments e.g. LCD and symbols e.g. for a temperature, fuel or oil display means.
- the driver of the vehicle is exposed to an information flood, although besides the display of the velocity, the temperature of the cooling water, the rpm etc. a part of the information on the display unit is only displayed optionally, i.e. if needed or according to the current situation.
- Document DE 10 2004 013 611 A1 discloses a display unit for a vehicle with a coloured pointer, wherein the pointer comprises different colours in dependence of the current use of fuel.
- the colour light source must be installed in the pointer or transmitted by light conductors from the colour light source to the pointer, which is comparatively costly to install.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a display unit in a vehicle that allows a quasi subconscious transmission of information, which demands only a subordinate attention of the viewer and is easy to install.
- This object is achieved by means of a display unit that displays information with a colour-coded symbol, wherein the information refers to the current fuel consumption.
- Information referring to the fuel consumption is very important. If such information shall be displayed in a manner that the driver is influenced by the information it is necessary that there are new methods for displaying such information.
- the present invention it is advantageously possible to transmit the information to the driver in a subconscious way using a colour change.
- This kind of transmission of information requires no direct eye contact to the display unit because for reception of the information it is only necessary that the driver notices the colour change in the side region of the field of vision.
- the display unit is the velocity display unit of a vehicle display system the following functions are integrateable as a backlight.
- the backlight respectively to the symbol e.g. the colour of the pointer is changeable, i.e. in the first driving state the colour of the pointer is green.
- the backlight of the velocity display unit and/or the rpm display unit respectively a symbol arranged in an area of the velocity display unit and/or the rpm display unit is yellow.
- the backlight respectively to the symbol e.g. the colour of the pointer is changeable, i.e. in the first driving state the colour of the pointer is yellow.
- a third driving state wherein the third driving state corresponds to a comparably high fuel consumption, (respectively as an alternative to a comparably high rpm)
- the backlight of the velocity display unit and/or the rpm display unit respectively a symbol arranged in an area of the velocity display unit and/or the rpm display unit is red.
- the backlight respectively to the symbol e.g. the colour of the pointer is changeable, i.e. in the first driving state the colour of the pointer is red.
- Intermediate states of these exemplary driving states are displayable by mixed colours or colour gradients. It is kept open whether the complete display area of the display unit or only a part of the display area respectively a symbol is provided with a color changeable lighting.
- the lighting unit comprises several independent light sources wherein at least two kinds of light sources are provided that differ by the colour of the emitted light.
- E.g. green, yellow and blue lighting diodes are arranged in groups side by side that are controllable independently in order to display the colours green, yellow, red or mixed colours or colour gradients across the groups of lighting diodes.
- the display unit comprises a light source that emits light in different colours in dependence of the control of the light source.
- a light source e.g. a light diode is adequate that in dependence of the control emits light comprising different colours.
- Such a display unit is especially adequate if only small space is provided for the lighting e.g. for a backlighting of a symbol.
- control unit is provided for a pulsing lighting of the display area or the display surface.
- the display surface of the display unit e.g. the watch face of the display unit such as a vehicle display system, is partially
- transilluminateable and/or translucent Therefore it is advantageously possible to display a colour change only in predetermined structures.
- the object of the present invention relates to a display unit for a vehicle, wherein the display unit is configured for displaying a colour information in dependence of a driving state information of the vehicle, wherein the driving state information is referring to the current fuel consumption of the vehicle, wherein the colour
- the driving state information comprises a coloured symbol.
- the driving state information is referring to low/med/high fuel consumption and/or to the current rpm of the vehicle, preferably referring to low/med/high rpm of the vehicle.
- the colour information comprises a coloured pointer and/or a coloured backlighting.
- the colour information comprises the colours green, yellow and/or red, a colour change, a mixed colour, a colour gradient and/or a colour with different intensities.
- the display unit comprises the velocity display unit and/or the rpm display unit of a vehicle display system.
- the display unit comprises independently controllable colour light sources, wherein the colour light sources are preferably configured for the emission of at least two different colours.
- the display unit comprises groups of colour diodes, wherein the groups are arranged side by side and preferably comprise green, yellow and/or blue diodes.
- the display unit comprises a colour lighting diode configured for the emission of different colours.
- pulse-width modulation is used for controlling the colour intensity of the colour information.
- the display unit comprises a partial display area, wherein the partial display area is configured for displaying the colour information.
- the display unit comprises a display surface, wherein the display surface is partially transilluminateable and/or translucent.
- a further object of the present invention relates to a vehicle comprising a display unit according to one of the preceding embodiments, wherein the display unit is configured for displaying a colour information in dependence of a driving state information of the vehicle, wherein the driving state information is referring to the current fuel consumption of the vehicle, wherein the colour information comprises a coloured symbol.
